Darkroom Door Santa

Well I fianally got to have a play with my new stamps while I am off work this week. I just love the father christmas image on this stamp set, he looks so realistic.

The swirl on the side of the card was made with my new Slice machine ( which I got for my birthday on Tuesday!) and the piece I cut out I coloured in with Sakura Superpoints and added the dotty effect with the colour remover pen and stuck it on the inside of the card right behind the aperture.

The dotty green paper is by Bo Bunny

I stamped the Santa image onto cream card and coloured the holly on his hat with superpoints and added a touch of glitterey blue with a stardust pen.

I layered him onto gold and red which I embossed on the new Mandala Reflections Embossing Board by Eazi. I also made the red border on the board also.

I stamped the baubles and the Pine leaves by colouring the stamps with the superpoints and stamping with them and then stamped the message with Versafine Black inkpad.

The crystal flower is from Kars X-mas collection.

All the stamps used are from Yuletide 2 collection by Darkroom Door.

Thank you to every one who sent me birthday cards, they were all fabulous and I will post a couple of pictures on here soon.

Happy Christmas

This Snowman is stamped onto glittery white felt and the hat and scarf onto blue felt. I coloured his nose in with an orange Sakura Moonlight Pen. The Xmas trees behind him were cut out on my Cricut machine. I made the snow flake white dots with a Sakura true white gelly roll pen. This card was stamped with Ollyfant Christmas stamps and watercoloured with Sakura watercolour pencils. The background papers are from Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses 6 x 6 pad of paper.

These two cards were made by cutting vintage pictures from a piece of scrapbook paper and layered onto matching backing paper.The border punch on the santa on snowball card is Fiskars Scalloped Lace ( Threading Waters)

I used a medallion Peel Off sticker and Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses paper pad on this card.

For this card I used a boot stencil, I covered the top of the boots with glitterey felt, the buckles were cut on my wizard machine with a buckles die.

These cards were made with Crafty Bitz 3D Straw Wreath stickers

stuck onto gold baubles which were cut on my Cricut machine and then embossed with Fleur de lys Cuttlebug Embossing Folder.

The border was cut with Martha Stewart Floral Lace Border Punch.

Over the last couple of weeks I have made quite a few christmas cards, so I thought I would post a few on here to hopefully inspire others. The weeks just seem to be flying by at the moment and christmas will be upon us before we know it so the earlier I start the better. Some have been classes in my shop, some will be, and some are just cards I felt inspired to make at the time.
